"What are conservatives trying to conserve"?

Don't bet on it; the only question in my mind is how far the Supremes will go. Entire ACA or just parts of it?

Time to go for the single-payer system like just about every other modern nation in the world. Unconstitutional to force "commerce" on someone, but perfectly constitutional to provide a needed service to that same someone using powers that already exist.

The Supreme Court asked the very same tough and seemingly biased questions the two lower court very conservative judges asked, before those two very conservative judges ruled clearly and without doubt to uphold it. You don't know what they will do, until they do it, but law precedent is on the side of upholding it all, as indicated by the two ultra-conserves lower court that already have agreed.

Right now all the noise is simply politicking and the press trying to create a story out of the vacuum of two-plus months of waiting.
